I don’t have a definitive source on this yet but it looks like NSF review panels have been canceled.
Sixty-some years ago, Eisenhower transformed higher education because he viewed a science education gap as the single greatest threat to national security.
This is absolutely an act of sabotage.

Though there is some confusion about which parts are rescinded. There is still a freeze? There are still specific emails ordering changes in DEI project activities.
Some hope, but still everything is very unclear. Huge thanks to everyone that is closely monitoring the situation.

WTF. Only months ago they were talking about how they could help fill funding gaps affected by the new administration.
As far as I am aware, those on IE2 grants with an extension are not affected, but maybe I just haven't heard the bad news yet? Can anyone confirm?

For HHMI to undo all the hard work David Asai and other leaders put in for this program is shameful. The IE3 program has accomplished great things. At my institution the IE3 we had several years ago became an institutionalized fellows program that has advanced our teaching.

This explains that there was an anti-DEI executive order also sent to Foundations. So they know that Foundation work is important to science and inclusion. Which is exactly why it was attacked. And disappointed by the closure of grants with little notice (Is that legal?).

It's important for federal employees to know when they are being given an illegal order.
In many of those cases, the thing to do is to express in writing that they are refusing to follow that illegal order.
Example below.

A USAID HR director sent out this email today to staff letting them know he was placed on administrative leave.
“Today, representatives of the Agency's front office and DOGE instructed me to violate the due process of our employees by issuing immediate termination notices to a group of employees.”
